Well it was a good mission which means nothing went wrong knowing how the media tends to make a mountain out of a molehill when it comes to NASA.
La Enchilada already started a thread Kevin.
This is a pretty cool web site. On it you can track the flight of the USA 193 Spy Satellite (the one the Navy plans on shooting down), and all the other satallites as well, including the Space Station, Space Shuttle and even planets. You are supposed to be able to put in you location and it will tell you what is overhead and when, but I’m still learning how to do that.

Yep, I even said we could designate that one a LIVE thread about a couple of hours beforehand, but Kevin Davis probably started this one before seeing mine so no problem.
